A sample of 14 joint specimens of a particular type gave a sample mean proportional limit stress of 8.59 MPa and a sample standard deviation of 0.72 MPa. (a) Calculate and interpret a 95% lower confidence bound for the true average proportional limit stress of all such joints. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) MPa Interpret this bound. With 95% confidence, we can say that the value of the true mean proportional limit stress of all such joints is less than this value. With 95% confidence, we can say that the value of the true mean proportional limit stress of all such joints is greater than this value. With 95% confidence, we can say that the value of the true mean proportional limit stress of all such joints is centered around this value. What, if any, assumptions did you make about the distribution of proportional limit stress

to determine the unit cost your would divide the total cost by the number sold.

7 bagels for $4.41       $4.41/7 = $.63 each at fresh side

5 bagels for $3.60         $3.60/5 = $.72 each at value mart

d. $180

step-by-step explanation:

if the dimensions of the room is 9ft by 12 ft, we have the area of the floor as,

so the area of the floor is 108 square feet, converting that into square yards we get,

the cost of carpet is $15 per square yard, therefore the cost of carpet for 12 square yards is,

hence, the cost of carpet is $180.

assuming the dimensions of the room be,

15 ft by 12 ft

so, the area of the floor of that room is,

we can convert 180 square feet into square yards, we know that,

1 sq ft = 0.111 sq yard

so, 180 square feet is,

so the area of floor is 20 square yards.

now, the cost of carpet is 15 dollars per square yard, therefore the cost of carpet for 20 square yards is,

so, it will cost $300.
